MARVEL RIVALS LEAKED HEROES

Marvel Rivals has been out for a while now, and it’s racking up impressive numbers on Steam.

At this point, It might be the definitive leader in the Hero Shooter category.

I’ve personally sunk a good chunk of hours into it and like everyone else and I am wondering what’s coming next. 

Well, thx to some leaks from their own marketing we have that answer… and it’s fantastic.

Fantastic 4 Heroes

As the title gave away, all off the Fantastic 4 heroes are coming and we have some leaked images for you to see.

They include their appearance and abilities, so if nothing changes in development between now and release date, this is the package of heroes you will be getting soon.

Mr. FANTASTIC

DR. Reed Nathaniel Richards aka Mr. Fantastic is the leader of the group and this is his in-game model. 

His superpowers include superhuman elasticity, malleability, durability, and some shape-shifting.

This is how the Devs chose to reflect this in the game as this leaked image shows.

ABILITIES:

• ELASTIC PUNCH (stretch out a forward punch to Attack)
• BRAINIAC BOUNCE (leap and smash knocking back enemies)
• REFLEXIVE RUBBER (stretch body to absorb DMG then launch it back at the target)
• FLEXIBLE ELONGATION (Dash at the target and deal DMG and grant bonus HP to allies)
• RUBBER GRIO (extend arms forward and entangle enemies, then jank two or more enemies back)
• ELASTIC STRENGHT “passive” (skills generate elasticity boosting attack power. Reaching full Elasticity triggers an inflated state restoring HP and boost DMG)

Reed Richards is officially classified as a Duelist (DPS), but it seems Mr. Fantastic is gonna be walking a fine line between Vanguard and Duelist.

Judging by his abilities we see him in more of a support role by displacing enemies, blocking incoming damage, and harassing other team Healers, than being a pure DPS and MVP.

HUMAN TORCH

Johnny Storm is another member of Fantastic 4 and this is official art for his appearance in Marvel Rivals.

His powers in comics include Pyrokinesis (Ability to crate and control fire) and while in his Flame mod, he can also fly.

His powers are reflected by this in-game abilities.

ABILITIES: 

• FIRE CLUSTER (lunch a splittable fireball)
• SUPERNOVA (explode with cosmic fire to deal DMG. Upon Skills activation all flame fields will transform into fire tornados)
• BLAZING BLAST (launch a fireball to create a flame field at the target area)
• PYRO-PRISON (connect flame fields to form a firewall dealing DMG over time)
• FLAMING METEOR (dive to the ground and deal DMG and detonate Flame fields)
• BURNING SOAR (fly upwards rapidly)
• PLASMA BODY “passive” (hold shift to fly upwards rapidly)

He is another Duelist like Mr. Fantastic but he seems to be more on the pure Dps side with an interesting twist.

As you can see a lot of his abilities deal damage over time and leave flame Fields that can be detonated to make firewalls closing some excess points like Groot dose.

His Team-Up ability will be with Storm where they both can take each other Tornadoes and turn them into the fire tornado… Pretty cool.

THE THING

Ben Grimm also known as The Thing is the Fantastic 4 team version of a Hulk.

His powers are the same as the Hulks although unlike the Hulk he stays in his superhuman form forever.

His powers in the game are as follows.

ABILITIES: 

• COMBINATION PUNCH (quick continuous punches)
• THUNDERBOLT (deliver a devastating punch)
• SLAM MOMENT (knock all enemies in front of you into the air)
• FURIOUS CHARGE (charge forward lifting enemies and leaving a seismic zone that prohibits displacement)
• BATTLEFIELD SUPPORT (jump to your teammate and add DMG reduction to both of you)
• SOLID AS A ROCK “passive” (Immune to knockbacks and displacements)

He is classified as Vanguard and is a typical one judging by his toolkit with one exception.

He seems to focus on displacing enemies and preventing allies and himself from being displaced.

This means he is a hard counter to someone like Wolverine who focuses on kidnapping tanks and shredding them and other heroes who like to take your teammates away from you (like that Shark asshole).

Speaking of him being a clone of Hulk he will have a team-up ability with Wolverine where he will pick him up and throw him.

INVISIBLE WOMAN

Sue Storm aka Invisible Woman is the wife of Reed Richards and the last but not least member of the Fantastic 4 Team. 

Her powers include the power to make her and others invisible, flight, the power to move objects with her mind, and to create constructs out of thin air.

Now unfortunately at the time of writing this article, we only know she will be a Strategist (Healer) and don’t know much else.

As soon as we hear something we will update this article and let you know 

That’s all the Heroes Coming next in Marvel Rivals for now my dudes and dudettes. Hope it’s Friday where you’re at and Game On.
